Youth Employment - Get Paid to Discover
Description

We accept applications on a rolling basis. Our next group onboarding is scheduled to kick off in June 2026! 


OVERVIEW 

This isn't showing up, clocking in, and going through the motions. At Farms Work Wonders, you're an explorer, a builder, a creator.

We're a nonprofit social enterprise running five real businesses: a farm, a market, a glass studio, a bakery, and a restaurant. Every one is a place where you get paid to learn, grow, and figure out what sparks your curiosity.

MUST-HAVES 

  • You're 16–21 and ready to discover something new
  • You want to get paid while you learn
  • You're willing to work hard and learn as you go

WHERE YOU'LL WORK 

Pick your path — or try a few: Lewis Farm, Wardensville Garden Market, Dakota Glass Works, Mack's Bingo Bakery, Mack's Bingo Kitchen, or Marketing & Facilities.


EXPECTED WORK SCHEDULE 

Flexible. Once you choose your enterprise, we work around your availability and the enterprise schedule to build something that works for you.
